Dear Mr. Coronado:
The Hill Country Veterans Council want to thank you and your staff for consulting with us on the CWT program for Kerrville. As you probably know, there was a very knowledgeable group of community leaders that was put together to evaluate and discuss the program with Mr. Gordon. All in attendance felt the Veterans Industries program was a good one but the lack of identifiable Veterans in the Kerrville VA Hospital catchment area needing training, made the program questionable for the area.
Therefore, we strongly support your decision not to move forward with the program in Kerrville. However, during one of the meetings, it was surfaced that the Corpus Christi area and the Rio Grande Valley area does have a number of Veterans that meet the profile for this program. If there is any way the HCVC could assist you and your staff in establishing this training program in these areas for our Veterans, please let us know.
Again, thanks for allowing the community to work with the VA in this decision making process.
Sincerely,
Walter Schellhase
USAR-BG (Retired)
President, Hill Country Veterans Council
